My MOC Lego Emergency Services Building thus far. There will be a police department on the third floor. 2nd fl has kitchen, chief's office, lockers, dormitory, bathroom, and shower room. There's a balcony for nice days between runs. #Legos#MOC#benitamakes#ilovelegos
I took a silk marbling class tonight through Indy Art Center. We practiced with using paper, so my project partner had a lot of fun. Half is hers and I will mail her half to her after they are dried and ironed. #benitamakes#silkmarbling#papermarbling#indyartcenter
Finished the Lego Jazz Club. I need to figure out the best way to add lights in the buildings where I can use remote controls to make them seem more like life. #Lego#benitamakes#legojazzclub#Legos#ilovelegos
Scott and I took a raku class at Indy Art Center. It was freakin' amazing!!! Everyone got wonderful results and here is my vase/pencil holder. I will take this class again and take friends. #benitamakes#raku#rakufiring#indyartcenter#ceramics
Wood turning class progress: Purpleheart pig and two bees, Canary Wood pig, bee and mushroom. Granadillo baby pigs, and a mushroom. Spalted Maple male doll body. These were done today. I'm going to miss this class. One more to go #woodturning#benitamakes#indyartcenter#learningisfun
Except for the sign decals and some clocks inside, my first, self-designed Lego buildings are done. A bakery & apartment, a book/gift shop, a radio station, an architect, and a detective are here. The garden on the top belongs to the caretaker, Gnerald Gnome. I'm thrilled! #Legos#lego#benitamakes
I have been learning wood turning at the Indy Art Center. I am making bodies for penny wooden dolls. I have all shapes, sizes, and wood types. Today, I made a man and woman from cherry and 2 women from oak (I think). The man has a flat head as he is getting a tophat. #woodturning#pennywooden#WIP
Today would have been my mom's 80th birthday. She died just before her 67th and never got to meet her great-grandchildren. Cancer sucks. Happy birthday, Mom. I really miss you.
